Centrifugal pump station for chocolate coating applications
Ensure precise temperature control and efficient chocolate coating circulation for uniform product quality, enhancing the appearance and taste of your final confectionery or ice cream products.
Controls Temperature and Circulates Chocolate Coatings
The Tetra Pak® Pump Station Centrifugal 100 M2 is engineered to optimize chocolate and coating processes in diverse food production environments. This pump station ensures temperature precision and consistent circulation, essential for the quality of chocolate-coated products like ice cream bars and confectionery dragees.
Featuring a controlled temperature range maintained within +/- 2°, it integrates seamlessly into continuous or standalone operations. With a throughput capacity of 10-900 liters per hour, it offers the flexibility needed for varied production scales. The unit operates using a frequency inverter pump speed control, allowing for real-time adjustments to maintain optimal flow based on product viscosity and pump pressure.
Automation is enhanced with remote control capabilities, facilitating on-demand feeding for dipping systems. The system’s optional water circulation feature ensures even heat distribution via a tank water jacket, reducing chocolate giveaway and promoting uniform coating.
Constructed for durability and efficiency, the pump station caters to the food, dairy, chocolate, and ice cream industries, supporting both liquid and slurry product types. Customization options and engineering support are available for tailored integration into existing production lines.
